Telegram will better cooperate with law enforcement agencies and hand over the IP addresses and phone numbers of users in response to “valid requests”, in a major policy change from the encrypted messaging platform just weeks after the arrest of its founder.
Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris in August and later charged with complicity relating to crimes being perpetrated on Telegram, including the distribution of child abuse material and hacking software.
He was also charged with refusing to cooperate with investigations into this illegal activity on Telegram.
